We’re up. We’re down. We’re drunk. We’re cat-sitting for tournament pieces. Just another week at Table 1, where the highs are high and the lows come with a concierge doctor on speed dial. If you’re new around here, every week* we give you a little tasting menu of high stakes poker life. And this week you’ll be tasting the full range of emotions.

But before we get to that, let me tell you one of my favorite quotes:

Poker’s like a couch, the money’s in the folds. Just kidding, only nits like that quote. But speaking of nits, if you’ve got stablecoins just sitting in your wallet, it’s doing absolutely nothing for you. Gauntlet.XYZ lets you algorithmically lend out your crypto. The nerds do the math, you get the interest—better than letting them collect digital dust!

And here’s the kicker THEY DON’T TOUCH YOUR PRIVATE KEYS. Your Keys, Your Crypto. Check it out here: https://gauntlet.xyz/t1 (Do your own research OBV)

Episode 71 - Table 1 Has Some Fun

This week’s episode starts with Art waking up “extra jolly” after a casual $70k win at 25/50… and somehow gets even more absurd from there. We unpack everything from PokerGO’s Cash Flow airing our best (and worst) moments to Justin’s recent colonoscopy and the surprising value of concierge medicine.

Some highlights:

  • Poker Results & Amnesia: Art forgets how he won $70k and considers launching a “Try Alcohol & Gambling” infomercial.

  • New Faces at Table 1: We talk about the rush of new players signing up and what makes our game different (hint: it’s the weirdness).

  • Table 1 in the Wild: We break down our segment in The Overlay and a guest appearance on Clyde Gaskins’ podcast.

  • Game-Inventing Madness: “CookamaBUNGO,” “Survivor,” and other half-baked poker side games that somehow almost make sense.

  • WSOP Predictions: We name our picks for bracelet winners and share how a cat-sitting gig turned into a $4,000 windfall.

  • Health Corner: Justin shares too much about his colonoscopy prep and gives a glowing endorsement of concierge doctors. Literally.

Plus, we talk TikTok cat litter startups, AI tools for poker scheduling, and the fine line between a nit and a sniper. It’s a messy, hilarious, and weirdly inspiring episode that only Table 1 could deliver.

🎧 Tune in if you love poker, degeneracy, and heartfelt life lessons disguised as bathroom humor.
